Trump: I'm doing a great job on the Reflecting Lake. I got so into it. I've upgraded it like you wouldn't believe... It'

lordy!!--Trumpy referred to the Reflecting pool as a LAKE!!

At this point, I hope someone can bring a lawsuit against this horrible incident--or whatever you call it. My point is that Tax payers should NOT be paying for any repairs-!!


Trump: I'm doing a great job on the Reflecting Lake. I got so into it. I've upgraded it like you wouldn't believe... It's going to be beautiful. It's going to be waterproof. It's going to be reflecting again.

Set out a vision. A general idea and turn the rest over to real experts. Not some swimming pool guy. You know, people who know how to do a "waterproof" lakes. Or at least know what "waterproof" lakes are. I sure as hell don't.

The actual funds spent will be 100 grand. And it'll show.

tired routines over and over again. New Yorkers had him figured out a long time ago and now the rest of the world has his number as well.

A good con artist has more than a handful of tricks in their bag, but he is stubborn; if something worked before, it will work again. That is probably why he "loves the poorly educated", they'll buy anything.

has repelled Douche-nozzle's attempts to "beautify" it.

It's holding out for an Iran-type deal. It's demands are to be left the fuck alone, a return of It's old coating, it's free to enrich algae as it sees fit, and it wants money for reparations.

President Douche-nozzle is reportedly ready to give in to all the "Reflecting Lake's" demands, and might throw in weekly water replacement and pH adjustments, just to have the problem go away.

The "Reflecting Lake" is quoted as saying, "Douche-nozzle started this unnecessary war, I'm going to finish it."

... probably doesn't even know what day it is, let alone the difference between a reflecting pool – that can't reflect anything! – and a goddam lake! He can't keep his grubby paws off of anything! He defiles beauty at every possible opportunity. His boorish crassness would be hilarious if it wasn't so destructive.

I observed several occupational therapists and physicians quiz elderly patients to test their mental acuity. One of the most common questions was, "Who is President of the United States now?"

I'd give it 50/50 at best TSF would answer that question correctly.

... "BIDEN!" or maybe "OBAMA!" whichever one he was obsessing over at the moment. He often forgets that HE was the president when he's condemning some past action that got his bloomers in a bunch, and that he wants to blame on a predecessor.
The miserable old bastard is only a year older than me, but I hope like hell I'm not that far gone when I celebrate 80 circumnavigations of the Sun next year!
